title: Preclinical safety of DNA vaccines : a method to analyze the distribution of plasmid DNA in animal models.
abstract: DNA or genetic vaccines are currently being evaluated for safety and efficacy in human clinical trials in the areas of infectious disease and cancer. Since DNA vaccines induce antibodies and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), they are currently being evaluated in humans for both prevention and therapy of HSV-2, HIV-1, and HBV infections, for prevention of influenza and malaria, and therapy of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) and colorectal cancer.
